AND why did the Serbs want to commit genocide against Bosnian Muslims? Wikipedia is a bit of a mess on both of these issues and I am unclear about the historical reasons behind the genocides. WHY, politically, culturally, religiously, etc. did they want to do this? Academic answers only, please.

Hey Lekkerdin! The Young Turks were in power, and doing a pretty good job, too, considering the circumstances of the war, agricultural famines in several countries, the influenza epidemic a few years before, etc. But thanks for your answer. It was very insightful. You seem really smart and well educated.

HEY SELF-RIGHTEOUS BABIES!!!
Stop spouting at the mouth and say something worthwhile! What a bunch of whiners! I ASKED this question because the Western Media continues to fail to give even a basic understanding on both issues, I know there is quite a lot of dispute over the historicity of the Armenian Genocide, and I am NOT American or British, so you can't use that as some kind of "...so you therefore think THIS" and "...then why don't you do THIS" That is for babies. I wanted information, what do YOU know about these two issues so I can learn more. Give me what you know, and don't assume I'm some Western uninformed automaton. I won't label you that way.

Excellent links. This is exactly what I was looking for, what the Western Media isn't saying. Any similar links about the Bosnian situation? What I get over here is so muddled.

Turkish government didnt want to commit genocide against armenians.
yes, many armenians died but not because of the genocide, they died because of the war, diseases and the cold like turkish people.
with russian incitements, some armenians burned turkish villages and those people's reaction was the same. these events was nothing about turkish government, the country was in a war and the chaos was on top.
i dont know so much serbs' genocide against bosnians.
---
i also wanna comment about so-called armenian genocide more;
The genocide contract signed in the United Nations at the date of 9.12.1948, went into effect at the date of 12.01.1951 in accordance with 13. section of this law. Therefore, Armenians have no right to want anything like land or indemnity from Turkish side. So Armenian racists' money and land imaginations will be only imaginations!
Most of people in the world believe in the genocide, because some fanatic Armenians propagandize this genocide stuff by using the media and internet very well which Turks doesnt even take these claims seriously and doesnt give any answer about. These Armenians have increased their claims and demands along these years, but also rejected Turkish dialogue call for a research about the history. They judged the history by what they wanted to believe.
However, if someone talks too much, that doesnt mean s/he tells the truth. Everybody has to be unprejudiced and make their comments after they read the history from every source.
And if someone claims that there is a genocide, they have to prove it first, not the others have to prove there is no genocide.
Turkish archieves are open, so, i wanna ask to dear Armenian friends, WHY DONT YOU OPEN YOUR ARCHIEVES? WHY DONT YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO PROVE THAT THERE WAS A GENOCIDE?
WHY ARE HERE, IN TURKIYE, AT LEAST 80 THOUSANDS OF ARMENIAN PEOPLE LIVE, WHILE TURKS FEAR OF GOING TO ARMENIA? CAN ITS REASON BE THAT ARMENIANS HAVE THE MURDERER BLOODS?
---
year: 1920s; there is nothing, but peace and agreements between turkiye and armenia and on their boundaries
year: 1950s; armenian racists claim = 300 thousands
year: 1980s; armenian racists claim = 1 million
year: 2000s; armenian racists claim = 1,5 million
so in 2050, what will these increments be? 5 million?
inside the whole ottoman boundaries, there were not even 1 million armenians. so how can you claim that 1.5 million armenians died in the east anatolia?
yes, many armenians died but not because of the genocide, they died because of the war, diseases and the cold like turkish people.
with russian incitements and commitments, some armenians burned turkish villages and those people's reaction was the same.
IF WE DEFINE WAR LOSTS AS THE GENOCIDE, THEN WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT WHOSE GENOCIDE THAT WAS; THESE EVENTS ARE STARTED BY ARMENIAN KILLERS. MUCH MORE TURKS HAVE BEEN KILLED BY THEM!

The Aremenians were/are Christian and Turkey is a Muslim country although it was probably more a territorial issue (the Turks wanted Aremenian territory). But it wasn't just the Turks who committed the genocide the Kurds killed many thousands of Aremenians as well during that same time period.
The Orthodox Christian Serbs have been fighting the Bosian Muslims for over 500 years. Ever since the Ottoman Empire took over the Balkans in 14th Century.

The Turks believed that the Armenians would side with the Russians against them. The Serbs wanted to drive all muslims and Roman Catholic Croats from Bosnia. The Croats were doing the same thing driving out muslims and orthodox Serbs from thier territory.
They all had God on thier side

Literal interpretation of the Quran instills an absolute requirement of genocide upon the unbelievers.
Read the infamous Surah At-Tawba (Chapter 9) in the Quran, and then read surrounding chapters. Its as plain as day and its not written in story language so it essentially reads as "commandments" in the present tense.
"The first genocide of the 20th Century occurred when two million Armenians living in Turkey were eliminated from their historic homeland...The despotic Sultan responded to their pleas with brutal persecutions." http://www.historyplace.com/worldhistory/genocide/armenians.htm

What a lot of rubbish, your country gets poorer and you people get louder...
You want land and money and you don't hesitate to lie and make up a genocide story...
Why do you say no to Turkish historians when they invite you to search over your so called genocide, none of you can't answer it..WHY..

There wasn't a Turkish government at the time of the so-called genocide.
You want academic answers, but your question is not that academic.
